Highlights
This is the best way to maximise your time in London and witness highlights of both changing the guard ceremonies in London. First up, we will witness the amazing moment when the King's Lifeguard - aka the Household Cavalry - come on duty. Our expert guide will ensure you're super close to the action. If you love horses, this is perfect! Then we make a beeline for the main event - Changing the Guard. This is where we will see the iconic guards with their bearskin hats marching along the Mall. If your group are keen, we will march alongside the band! We'll then see a second group of guards marching from their barracks, and get the perfect photo of Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the monarchy, before taking in Clarence House (home of King Charles) and the 500 year old St James Palace. We will adapt the pace and content of the tour to your wishes, with our royal and changing the guard expert able to answer all your questions about these incredible ceremonies.
